The 9 Myths to Effective Discipline
Parents look for books, articles, and parenting advice from others that will tell them exactly what they need to do to correct misbehavior. As they compile their stockpile of discipline strategies, little do they realize that these techniques are often filled with myths, misunderstandings, and misinterpretations. In this article, we attempt to help you sort through the most often believed discipline myths.
Stop Shoulding on Your Children
It’s usually possible to make a strong case that your child should have done something—or done something different—in a particular situation. So what? There is no point in laying blame for what “should have” been done but wasn’t. The useful question is not whether the “right” thing was done, but what action is appropriate given the current situation.
The Art of Allowing: Parent Control from the Inside Out
What if a controlling parenting style breeds resistance, resentment, and reluctance? You might want to examine a shared control style that often leaves the parent with more control than they had to begin with.
Grace-Full Parenting
Are the typical frustrations, annoyances, and irritations associated with parenting beginning to get you down? Are you feeling like you need a two week vacation from your children? If your answer to these questions is “yes,” you may need the gift of grace-full parenting.
